In the shelter’s words

William was born about June 1, 2018 and is a healthy, happy, cat that is wonderful with the other cats and the visiting dogs. Sadly, he is very fearful of humans as he was not socialized as a baby. Joyful Rescues is looking for a home for this kitty that someone will be very, very, patient and/or let him be himself. He would never attack anyone, but would just run away. We would also be willing to let him go to an inside/outside or decent barn "home". It would be nice if there was another kitty to pal with as he's always been with others. All medical care has been done and there will be no adoption fee. It is very sad, but way too many humans turned kittens into us that they said were friendly that were not and now we are unable, at this time, to take more cats in. We could sure use your help to place our now sanctuary cats that live at the main location in the basement/garage/outside. They are good about using the litter box. Prior to being released as a sanctuary cat he was neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and tested negative for FIV/FELV. He is given flea control throughout the summers. There is no adoption fee for this kitty. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A CAT FROM JOYFUL RESCUES We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption. Can't Adopt Me?
